But tonight I went and bought the items used in your video and finished a black walnut pen in this juice and WOW did it come out beautiful 10 times better than the CA and 10 times faster. Thank you Cap'n and O.B.

Concerning linseed oil: BLO is simply raw Linseed oil with Cobalt dryer/catalyst. The name is confusing because they used to boil it with a lead oxide which worked as a catalyst, plus the boiling increased the molecular weight by getting some of the oil molecules to start polymerizing. Now if the linseed oil is actually boiled it is usual called double boiled linseed oil. It has the catalyst and has been boiled. Raw linseed oil also called stand oil is simply linseed oil without the metal catalyst. The linseed oil will still polymerize over time only slower. Polymerization happens when the oxygen in the air forms radical at the unsaturated double bonds in the oil and cross-link with other oil molecules. Concerning Shellac: Shellac has a pot life of about one year once put in the can with denatured alcohol by the manufacturers.pot life

Eddie I can't stress how valuable the information you put out is including this video! It has helped me learn so much about wood turning and get started. Denatured alcohol is called methylated spirits here in Australia and elsewhere. The lac beetle is an insect that lives in India and Thailand. They suck resin out of certain trees where its chemically changed in their body and then they secrete it all over the tree branches. Its harvested by cutting branches of the trees processed to remove the resin.

very true! and also to be a nerd-the insect is not a beetle (despite the fact that it is often confusingly referred to as one) but a "true bug"-a scale insect in the insect order Hemiptera.

Hey Capt. Eddie, I'm going to try this finish. I usually use beeswax and mineral oil but never too old (I'm 69!) to try something new. By the way when I've used a liquid friction polish I just use an small aluminum basting pan I bought from the dollar (now $1.25 🥴) store. It fits exactly under the chuck and sits securely on the bed. Catches any drips just fine. Good video and still relevant MANY YEARS after you first posted it.

I found a product called Butchers Block at Lowes that is food safe and is much less effort to put on. 3 to 4 coats on a bowl with a paper towel and it looks like glass. Thought I would pass it on. Have enjoyed your show many times over the years. Thanks my friend.
@MomusFilms6 жыл бұрын
Butcher's Block oil is great, but it's just plain Mineral Oil. Looks good for a few months, then evaporates off and has to be reapplied. It does NOT build up a finish like shellac, Linseed, poly, CA, lacquer, etc that gives the glassy look. However, Butcher's Block Oil IS food safe (in fact it's sold cheaply at drug stores as a laxative), but just know it has to be reapplied regularly and offers no actual hardening protection.

@jbailey8129 Just to be clear, I used pure tung oil. I believe minwax is a modified tung oil with driers and other such additives which may make it tacky, they also may interfere with the shellac and how it cures. I know the pure stuff didn't get tacky and it cured just fine. Still, paraffin oil is super cheap and I have a ton of it (it's lamp oil), so I'll keep on using that. A luthier actually turned me onto french polishing with paraffin oil. Gotta say, it works great!

However for repair ability down the road, I think it will be easier to get a nick or scratch out with this and repair and not know it was even there where with CA glue you have a bit more work to do in sanding down the acrylic as deep as the damage then building back up.

What suggestions would you have for finishing a hand sanded project? Also, have you ever worked with petrified wood? I want to leave it in its natural, unsanded state, but give it a high gloss to bring out its gorgeous colors.
